G Iadstone,s Nottingham speech.

LONDON, Oct. 19.-Mr. Gladstone's
speech at Nottingham, was received with
Tlnbounded enthusiasm by his hearers.
He was not there, he said. TO speak of
smooth things, or to smooth over rough
thin gs. 1t was deplorable, indeed, that
the settlement of this Irish question,
which might have been settled last year,
II there had been any disposition on the
part OF its opponents to discuss it in a
spirit of CAM lor and fairness, was still
pending, and with its difficulties greatly
aggravated, a nd its prospects uncertain, the
coercion act was passed, against combi-
nations to preserve the liberty of the
press, and ag ainst the right to hold pub
lie meetings not against crime The
spectacle pr, scented in Ireland was now
grave and sci .ious, and the present state
of affairs ceu Id not be much longer con-
tinued withSout driving Ireland into a
condition in which the difficulties of the
government would be in~surmountable.
What ne wa .nted to secure for ireland,
was a status tie parliament in Dublin, sub
1ect to the control of the imperial parlia-
msnt. There is nothing, he contended,
TO prevent reasonable men from agreeing
to the proposals of the liberal and Irish
parties, and no reasonable man could re-
IRAN from condemning tile present course
OF the government. Mr.. Gladstone adj
mitted having used the words, 'srenas,n-
Der Mitchellstown," and said that the.
country had an account TO settle with the
government in connection with that al
fair, The authorities at Mitchellstown
were undoubtedly in the wrong, yet. Mr..
Balfour assumed the responsibility of de-
tending their action. Mitchelstown had
become a model for the whole of Ireland.
The whole system of government in Ire
land required to be thoroughly reformed.
and only an en~franchised nation could
accomplish the reformation needed.

PROHIBITION ADVOCATED
THE LICENSE QUESTION DISCUSSED
BY MINNESOTA METHoDlsTS.

The Conference Resolves in Favor Oh
Prohibition and that High license -
Not the solution of the Pr oblsm-ih
temperate Language.
M1NNEApoLrs. Oct. lS,-TIaa state
Methodist conference had a lively eihe
on the prohibition question. The teLhpei
ance committee, of which Rev. Wv. W.
Satterlee was chairman, reported q seites
of resolutions, which advocated pre- NiD'
ton and denied that high license ~as
the solution of the liquor problem. NJ
Satterlee did not agree with the use
resolutions, and had drawn up Il
minority report. About the only
difference was the portion referring
to high license. Mr.. Satterlee's resolu-
ton said that the liquor traffic was the
great political question of the day, TO be
settled only through political parties. 1t
further pledges the convention to de-
nounce all social and political organiza-
tions which are not opposed to license.
The resolutions all contained a rabid at
tack on high license. Mr.. Satterlee sup
ported his resolution, celebrating on the
old arguments. Mr.. William Mcking-
ley, favored the majority report. lie
said they all wanted the same thing, but
that his friend had q pet plan, which he
wished to force on other people. He
did not propose to commit himself to any
policy. The church wanted more
prayers and less ~partisanship,
more Methodism and less fool
cry. Rev. Mr.. Morgan vigorously
defended the minority report. He said
the majority report limited at high IL
cense, which ws.3 a trick OF hell, and NO
solution. 9th er ministers spoke pro and
con, but DIR. s.. G. Smith, of st. Paul,
created a sensation by saying that a year
ago the third party crowd had got a ma
jority in thesconference on such resolu-
tons as those, now introduced by the or
binary Meth .odists of political intrigue.
He was called to order by the others, and
Bishop Fo' wler interrupted, and he had

knowledge, however, 1t was pretty well
understood that IL anything definite was
accomplished, it would result in lower
rates on some of The principal commodi-
ties to Council Bluffs, n a possible low
ering of the proportion Of the through
rates to Nebraska points. There was
n tangible incident, however, the pres
ance of q delegation of lincoln, Neb.,
jobbers, who had come to Chicago to put
in a demand that the same rates
should be put in from Chicago aud st.
Louis to Lincoln, RS rule to Omaha. The
basis for this is that the Missouri Pacific,
4 roundabout route from st. Louis to
Omaha in competition with the Wabash,
makes the same through rates between
those points, and a higher rate to Lincoln,
which by the Missouri Pacific route is a
shorter distance than to Omaha. The
real facts are that the Lincoln jnbbers,
although already getting a less rate than
the sum of the two locals, Chicago to the
Missouri river and the Missouri river to
Lincoln, are determined to force the Chi
cage roads to put in the Omaha rate TO
hat point, using the Missouri Pacific as
the lever to accomplish their aims. The
pressure is brought to bear principally
upon the Burlington and the Burlington
81 Missouri, the direct Chicago and Lin
coin line, although the Northwestern
reaches it by a more circuitous route. II
the Burlington should concede the point,
it would require q shrinkage of the Mis-
souri, river rates from Chicago by com
peting roads, in order to give the Union
Pacific its fair proportion of the division,
the Council Bluffs roads getting less for
the haul on Lincoln thar on Omaha
freight. Besides, with the exception that
Lincoln has become something of a rail.
way center, there is no more reason
why the Missouri river rate should be
put IN to Lincoln, than to a point fifty or
one hundred miles beyond. Al least that
is the way that the officials are inclined
to look at it. The ugly point is the fact
that the Missouri Pacific, the long line
from st. Louis to Omaha, is allowed to
meet the rate of the Wabash, the short
line, and that a concession to Lincoln by
the Missouri Pacific would fol- ce the
Chicago roads to eqllalize the Chicago
and st. Louis rates.
The question Of the mobilization of the
rates on lumber to and grain from, Coun-
Gil Bluffs and Omaha, was given consider
alton, and If was arranged that, taking
effect Nov. l, the rate be made 18 cents a
hundred pounds from Chicago to Coun-
Gil Bluffs and Omaha, aud 20 cents on
corn in the other direction.

Bismarck and the Gun-aIaker.

surprise and comment, and ariou causes
nave been aseribed as explaining the gun
makers purpose in holding a conference
with the chancellor, non of which, how
ever, has come anywhere near the truth
1t was learned that the object of Herr
krupp's interview was to induce the
chancellor to assist him in collecting q
bill of So, 900, 900, which the house of
Krupp has held against the Turkish gov
eminent for. ordnance furnished at xarf-
Gus times to Turkey, until the probability
OF its voluntary payment has become eS-
ceedingly remote. Whether the chan
cellor agreed to turn the German foreign
office into a collection agency, is not
definitely known, but 1t is understood
that Herr krupp received a promise that
anything that could legitimately he done,
toward inducing the sultan's government
to liquidate its Indebtedness to, the firm
that had supplied it with the means of
protecting itself, would be resorted to,
though what steps will be taken eannag
